Losing hair every day is natural. New hair takes the place of the fallen hair in no time. However, this is not always the case, sometimes the rate of hair fall is faster than the rate in which the new hair can fill in. Thus, you start developing signs of baldness.
If you start to lose more than 100 strands of hair daily, then it should raise your alarm, because it may be a sign of something more serious than everyday hair fall.
There can be a lot of reasons behind hair fall. Finding the cause may help us root out the source of the problem and choose a valid treatment for it.
Researchers have discovered that argan oil has proven to be a power-hub for your hair and scalp. It not only provides essential nutrients but also has the ability to heal the damaged parts of your hair. But can it heal or slow down alopecia? Let’s find out below!
What are the causes of hair loss?
Before getting into hair loss treatments, we must know the cause of your hair loss to understand and choose the remedy that is best for you. Here are some major causes of alopecia.
1) Scalp dryness
Having a dehydrated scalp can lead to hair loss. Dry conditions can leave your skin scaly and your hair damaged. When there is not enough moisture inside hair cells, they become fragile. In a worst-case scenario, it can trigger alopecia.
Treatment: Argan oil has a fine reservoir of fatty acids, which are essential for maintaining the health of your skin and hair. These fatty acids stimulate the ability of the skin on your scalp to retain moisture.
By using this oil, you can restore the lost moisture not only to your scalp surface but also on the cellular level.
2) Recurring dandruff
Dandruff is the accumulation of dead skin cells. When the dandruff builds-up on your skin, it starts damaging your hair follicles.
We all have dandruff because shedding dead skin cells is a natural process. When the rate of shedding increases, the flaking of skin starts, and as a result, we get accumulations of white flakes.
If not treated in time, it can initiate hair loss.
Treatment: There are many reasons behind dandruff. But argan oil deals effectively with all conditions of dandruff. Using a small amount daily and massaging it into the scalp will allow your scalp to regain its natural health.
3) Sun-damaged hair
When you are exposed to the sun’s rays, the UV portion of the electromagnetic spectrum breaks and damages your hair strands. If left untreated, it can start a chain reaction of falling hair.
Treatment: Some researchers have applied argan oil on wounds, and they were quick to notice that it had accelerated the speed of recovery of the wound.
Therefore, we can say that this oil has healing properties. If sun rays have burnt your skin and hair, then try applying argan oil onto the affected area to speed up the healing process.
4) Using too many chemical products
In the hopes of getting beautiful looking hair, you may try to use every kind of hair product on your head. By doing so, you are actually putting your hair and skin through a lot.
The chemicals present in certain products can dangerously dehydrate your scalp by eliminating all the natural oils your scalp produces. Applying hair color frequently, as well as washing and conditioning your hair a lot can have severe after-effects.
Overusing heat-styling products can often damage your hair. Brittle and burnt hair is more likely to fall out from the roots. Therefore, heat-styling is a common cause of hair fall as well.
Treatment: Shampoos and conditioners not only discard dirt, but they also remove the essential natural oils present on your scalp. In addition shampoos can also reduce the potential of skin to keep water.
Argan oil can work a miracle in this area. It is not only a natural moisturizer, but it also fixes the ability of skin cells to hold moisture.
It can also work as a heat protectant because it contains a good deal of fatty acids. You don’t have to buy heat-resistant sprays; instead, you could try using this miraculous oil.
5) Alopecia Areata
Due to immune system malfunction, your hair may start to fall. Round bald patches may appear suddenly on your head or on different parts of your body. The bare areas may sometimes hurt or be sensitive to touch, or in some rare cases, they may itch.
Treatment: There is no recorded cure for Alopecia Areata. Many researchers have tried different oils and treatments to cure it, but nothing has worked 100% of the time.
In some cases, Argan oil has slowed the alopecia and has stimulated the rate of hair regrowth in the affected areas. Still, we do not have enough evidence to prove its effectiveness.
6) Genetic Reasons
Inheritance is the most common cause of baldness. The “baldness” gene can come from both your father and mother. It affects both genders, but in males, this condition is typically more prominent. Males can sometimes start to show signs of receding hairline as they age, and it is because of genetics.
Treatment: There is no scientific basis that any oil can stop hereditary hair loss. However, in some cases, applying oils like argan oil has been shown to help slow down the process.
7) Hypothyroidism
This is a condition in which the immune system starts to function abnormally. This malfunction of the immune system disturbs the normal hormone levels in our body. Fluctuations in hormone levels can trigger a lot of problems such as hindered growth, dry skin, metabolic changes, and even hair loss.
Treatment: Even oils as powerful as argan oil cannot deal with the baldness caused by hypothyroidism. The only treatment of this kind of hair loss is through proper medication from your physician.
8) Dietary changes
Not consuming enough nutrients will ultimately affect your skin and hair. As they say, “You are what you eat” So, it is safe to say if you eat healthily, then you will remain healthy. If not, then all the parts of your body will not function at their best. You cannot have shiny and beautiful looking hair without consuming enough water and healthy foods.
Treatment: Argan oil is a nutritional hub of vitamin E and fatty acids. It is a very beneficial component in cooking. If your body is deficient in vitamins and
